5.3 Wood protection
The product is made from natural timber, for which regular and adequate wood preservation measures
are obligatory. Please contact a wood preservation expert for information on professional preservation
measures.
Wood preservation is to be carried out by the customer at his own risk. No guarantee can be
given in the event of wood preservation not carried out in accordance with the instructions.
Please also note the provisions relating to this in our guarantee. We wish you much pleasure
with your wood product.
5.4. Assembly information
Please follow the safety information contained in point 4.3.
5.4.1. This must be considered
before
installation!
Prior to assembly, find out whether you require planning permission to erect a log cabin.
When marking out your cabin at the planned site, pay particular attention to the location of the existing
electricity and water connections/cables.
Preparation of the substrate
Once the ground has been successfully levelled, the height and horizontal position of the foundations
are to be marked out (see point 6).
Foundations
A prerequisite for assembly is an expertly laid, level and square foundation. A foundation plan can be
obtained from your specialist dealer.
In order to avoid rising damp, we recommend that a barrier layer be laid between the foundation and
the floor beams using the packaging film, roofing paper or similar. Roofing paper for a barrier layer is
not included in the scope of this delivery.
In order to avoid wind damage, anchor the floor beams of the cabin to the foundation. Concrete
anchors or steel angles and heavy-duty dowels available from specialist dealers are suitable for this.
The anchors are not included in the scope of this delivery.
Wood protection
(Cf. also point 5.3). If you arrange to have the assembly carried out by a weka assembly team, the
required applications of the wood protection agent must be completed prior to assembly beginning.
5.4.2. This must be considered
during
installation!
At least two people are required to assemble the log cabin.
Please drill pilot holes for all screw connections to avoid damaging the wood. The following symbol in
the instructions will indicate when this is necessary:
The pallet on which the cabin is transported comprises two floor beams which are to be used in the
assembly of the cabin.
In order to check the right angles, measure the diagonals and make any necessary corrections until
you have the same values.
When laying the roof boarding, care should be taken to ensure that the roof boards are not pressed
tightly into each other. Subsequent swelling of the wood as a result of moisture is unavoidable.
We recommend that you also apply a further layer of roof paper with bitumen cold bonding agent.
